Personal Information Management

Studies have been done on a variety of topics in the information management field. I am particularly interested in topics under the sub-heading of "Personal Information Management". Several teams of students at the University of Washington studied the following topics:

Folders vs Tags for organizing information
Factors contributing to abandonment of IM strategies
Putting information in its place in a digital age
Planning to organize personal information
Human cognition and personal information management
Information behavior
Human behavior related to information

I am intrigued by these topics. I intend to continue delving into some of these topics in the coming weeks and months.
